Chapter 696: The purest black

"Even so as to slander the Imperial College and blackmail. Deceive people too much!"
"I said at the beginning that this matter was strange. As expected, using a mere fifty thousand taels of silver to guide public opinion wiped out the reputation of the Imperial College. She deserves to be the most proficient in business."
"This matter can't be left alone."
The two courtiers secretly discussed with each other behind closed doors.
Unexpectedly, the door opened from the outside.
Zhongshu ordered Master Li to come in, "This is the end of the matter, no disputes are allowed."
"My lord, your Highness and Madam Zhao are so deceiving, so forget it? Aren't you afraid that people will lose their hearts?"
Lord Li looked at the documents on the table at will, and said lightly: "Don't forget it, do you want to continue the fight? Will you win the fight? As long as your majesty still recognizes the son Liu Zhao, plus Mrs. Zhao's money , Relying on your little means, you can't win the opponent at all."
The two courtiers frowned, "My lord means that if you want to win each other, you must first provoke the father-son relationship between your majesty and your majesty?"
Master Li said solemnly: "This official has never said something like this, please don't understand it wrong. In short, this is the end of the matter. Who dares to have trouble, this official will not protect him. Convey the meaning of this official, you I'm so good at it."
After speaking, Master Li shook his sleeve and left.
The two courtiers looked at each other and found a tacit understanding in their hearts.
The courtier turned off his flames, and the matter quickly subsided, and no one mentioned it again.
Time slipped by like running water.
The students are jumping around, preparing for the entrance examination of Shanhe College.
The soaring number of applicants means that Shanhe Academy is becoming more and more prosperous.
When everyone's eyes were on Shanhe Academy, Xinmin County Baigong College quietly opened.
Baigong College, as the name suggests, is a college that specializes in cultivating technical talents.
The Xinmin County Junior School, Xinmin County Girls’ Junior School, and Xinmin County Girls’ Intermediate School were opened at the same time as Baigong College.
There was no publicity, no public announcements, and a few schools quietly took root across the back lane of the second phase of Xinmin County.
"Madam ventured to open a women's school. This is a predicament of the world. The current scale is still small and has not been noticeable. In three to five years, when the women's school cannot be hidden, this matter will definitely arouse criticism from the court. By then, The world is fierce and angry, I'm afraid it will burn Madam."
Huang Qubing reminded Gu Jiu in a low voice.
Gu Jiu stood on the empty ground.
The open space here will be used for school expansion.
I am afraid that there will be too much movement and attention, and the expansion project can only be postponed for two years.
Hearing Huang Qubing's reminder, she smiled, "Am I afraid?"
"Words can save people and kill people," Huang Qubing reminded again.
Gu Jiu looked back at him, "Are you a decoration for Wenqing Bookstore?"
Huang Qubing looked dumbfounded, what does this have to do with Wenqing Bookstore?
Gu Jiu said softly: "Three or five years later, if Wenqing Bookstore is still only a bookstore selling books, it can only show that you, the person in charge, is too stupid."
Huang Qubing was not convinced, "Although you are my boss, I don't agree with you. Why am I stupid, can you make it clear?"
"You just said that words can save and kill people. When it comes to killing people with words, this lady recognizes the second, who dares to recognize the first?"
Gu Jiu looked at Huang Qubing with a smile.
Huang Qubing vaguely caught something, but didn't catch it.
He was too anxious, "Madam, can you explain things more clearly. You also said that I am the person in charge of the bookstore. I don't even understand your intentions. How can I be responsible?"
"Have you not seen it through yet?"
Gu Jiu raised his eyebrows and smiled, "Seven Langs ten battles against the Flower Picking Thieves, do you really not understand such a typical incident? I can promote Qi Lang to be a knight, the hero of the prodigal son. The three women are regarded as one person. Dear and beloved woman.
Conversely, I can also destroy the reputation of Qilang and Sanniangzi. To do this, I only need to publish a book "A Genius Interpretation of Qi Lang's Ten Battles to Pick the Flower Thieves" to dig into the roots of Qi Lang and San Niang's evil words. The heroic woman, away from the hypocrite slut, is only a thin layer of window paper. Understand now? "
Huang Qubing's heart became cold, "Words kill!"
Gu Jiu lowered his head and looked at his hands.
Her hands are well-born, smooth and slender.
"You have to remember, kill people with text. In this era, I recognize the second and no one dares to recognize the first."
Gu Jiu, who has been baptized by later generations of online scolding wars, knows how to manipulate speech.
In this era, there is no computer or network, and it seems that the information is not smooth, but they don't know it. This allows the upper class to better control the right to speak.
When the information is unblocked, it is not so easy to control the right to speak.
She continued: "Three to five years, according to our previous plan, is enough to make Wenqing Bookstore a study room for scholars in the world and a producer of'truth'. With such a powerful weapon in hand, why not do it? Those pedantic people in the win, you, the person in charge, will take the main responsibility by then."
Huang Qubing is under great pressure.
He wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, "Are you sure you want to play this big?"
Gu Jiu laughed, "I'm just a person who doesn't play. If I play, of course I have to play a big one. Otherwise, what would I do to worry about a broken book game."
"This broken bookstore has a profit of as little as a few thousand taels per month, and a profit of as much as tens of thousands taels. It is more profitable than you build roads."
"There is no road, can you ensure that your published book will be shipped to Jiangnan within half a month?"
Huang Qubing is very heartbroken.
"I admit defeat! It is indeed necessary to build roads, but you can't say that Wenqing Bookstore is a broken bookstore."
Gu Jiu snorted, "Don't talk about broken bookstores, should it be the number one bookstore in the world? Are you really afraid that the tree will attract the wind? The Wenqing Bookstore has made money so fiercely that it has attracted many people's jealousy. At this time, it should be low-key."
Huang Qubing's mouth twitched.
Is it low-key, not high-key?
This is the opposite.
"After the publication of "The Collection of Examination Papers of the Past Scholars' List", it is impossible to keep a low profile."
Gu Jiu smiled, "The bookstore is doing great business, and you have made great contributions. I will give you a big red envelope at the end of the year. How did you do the last time I mentioned things to you?"
When Huang Qu Bing heard it, his brows were all excited.
"Those pen, ink, paper and inkstone merchants, when they heard that they only need to pay a sum of money, they will be able to put their firm's sign at the back of our exercise set. They are all happy and crazy. There are too many merchants involved. I learned from you and made one. Bidding. Guess, how much does an advertisement cost on the title page of the problem set?"
Gu Jiu asked nonchalantly: "How much is it?"
"Sold fifteen hundred taels. A total of four ads were sold."
Gu Jiu looked disgusted, "It's only fifteen hundred taels, only four, so I am so happy about you, it's really not promising."
Huang Qubing clutched his chest and suffered the greatest stimulation of his life.
"I'm sick! You despise me again, be careful that I got sick on the spot. Don't forget, I'm the princess's son-in-law, your majesty's son-in-law."
Gu Jiu snorted, "I'm still your majesty's daughter-in-law!"
Huang Qubing spurted blood.
Can't be compared.
He gave up completely.
Gu Jiu instructed him: "Don't worry about those who have already bid. While the "Anthology of No. 1 Scholars' Exploring Flowers" has not been published, you have a gentle bid. The back of the book cover, the title page, and the first page number under the page, all use these places. Come to advertise.
The advertising price on the back of the book cover shall not be less than 10,000 taels, with a period of two years. If it is less than 10,000 taels, I would rather not reduce the price if the advertising space is empty. Within two years, no matter how many times this edition is republished, there will be bidding advertisements. All advertisements only have a two-year period. Two years later, there is a price after two years, and we will talk about it when the time comes. "
"Twelve thousand taels, would it be too cruel."
Gu Jiu chuckled softly, "What are we doing? It's a popular book, a book for every reader. A mere 10,000 taels can buy two years of advertising space and make a lot of money. And we can help them. Design advertising patterns for free to ensure eye-catching and effective.
All in all, less than 10,000 taels, do not sell. The title page and book pages can be cheaper. You can make up your mind on the specific price, and I will not interfere. "
It's stressful!
Huang Qubing held a folding fan, frowning in deep thought.
After thinking about it, I finally accepted the job, "Okay, I'll do it. If you can't sell it, don't blame me."
"After you finish this work, you spread the news and said that "Seven Langs Ten Fights the Flower Thieves" also accepts advertising bids. The hardcover version is free of ads."
Huang Qubing completely took it.
"What else can be used to make money, you say, you say all."
Gu Jiu smiled, "Making money is crazy, let me tell you everything. After all, are you busy? There is no money in the world, so why are you worried."
Huang Qubing hummed, "Publishing books, such an elegant thing, has been made so cheap by you. It is necessary to carry a basket of infamy."
Gu Jiu pursed his lips and smiled, "That's why I let you make a more elegant bid. Pen, ink, paper, inkstone, college admissions, only advertisements related to books and reading, and fewer people want to scold you."
Huang Qubing looked choked.
Fortunately, the books he presided over were all under pen names.
When others scolded, they would only scold his pen name.
Wipe cold sweat from his forehead.
Huang Qubing feels that since mixing with Gu Jiu, the endurance of his heart is getting stronger and stronger.
...
Soon "The Collection of Examination Papers of the Past Scholars' List" will be published!
Two volumes are published at a time, including all the test essays of the champion Yan Tanhua in the past 40 years.
Exquisite packaging, thick paper, clear printing, and the hardcover version also comes with color pages, which is simply a surprise.
By the way, the first written advertisements of this dynasty were born:
Caishi Paper Workshop, you deserve it!
Zhang Ji's pens have been imitated and never surpassed by others!
Xu Ji Mofang, the purest black in the world!
The rush of students blocked the Wenqing Bookstore.
"I'm going to read San Yuan Gong's article to see if it is a mere name or is it worthy of it."
"Master Li is very talented, if you compare it again, maybe the champion is Master Li."
"I don't think it's necessarily true. Sanyuan Gong was really talented and learned. It's by no means comparable to what it is today."
"Don't squeeze, don't squeeze. People are squeezing into jerky."
"Who stole my purse?"
"My shoes! Who stepped on my shoes."
"The hardcover edition actually costs two or five dollars a copy, which is too dark."
"If you can't afford the hardcover edition, you can buy the paperback edition or the paperback edition. It is unfair to say that the bookstore is too dark."
"The hardcover version is obviously different in the hand. It's not expensive to sell for three or two and five dollars, it's a special expense."
"After buying a book, I can only eat chaffy vegetables this month."
"I really envy the students of Shanhe Academy, don't worry about eating."
...
A carriage was parked outside the crowd.
Lord Li sat in the carriage and looked at the crowded Wenqing Bookstore through the window.
The butler took two beautifully packaged books, squeezed out from the crowd and returned to the carriage.
"Master, I bought the book. Please have a look."
Master Li picked up the second book and turned it directly to the eleventh year of Kai Yao. His and Yang Yuanqing's articles were all printed on it. "
After many years, when I saw Yang Yuanqing's article again, I was still shaking with shock.
What is talent?
This is talent!
Comparing with my own articles, it is a good article to be steady and steady. But it couldn't produce that trembling feeling.
"Not comparable, not comparable!"
Lord Li looked disappointed.
"My official really lost him back then. After comparing the articles of our two people, the world will send out similar emotions. My official, don't accept..."
It's not that he couldn't write such a stirring text.
It's the exam that year, and the chief examiner's style is steady.
He did what he liked and wrote the article deliberately smoothly.
Unexpectedly, he still lost.
Lord Li threw the collection of essays aside, his face pale.
The steward asked worriedly: "Master, what do you do next? Master's anthology, should you publish it in advance?"
"No! When the world believes that Yang Yuanqing is better than the official, the official will publish his personal collection. By then, we must let the world know that a momentary win or lose does not mean a permanent win or lose."
"When your Majesty sees this essay collection, will he summon Yang Yuanqing again?"
"Even if your Majesty summons Yang Yuanqing again and grants him an official, this official will have a way to get Yang Yuanqing out of the court. Since he has left the court, he can't even want to get involved in the court again."
"But Madam Zhao and His Royal Highness seem to attach great importance to Yang Yuanqing. Depending on the situation, they deliberately praise Yang Yuanqing."
Master Li snorted coldly, "How about holding it up? Your Majesty will never reuse the person Liu Zhao holds."
The emperor and the prince were born in a bad way.
How could the emperor reuse the person whom the prince wanted to support.
The relationship between Emperor Wen De and Liu Zhao, the father and son, had a suspicion, which was already tacitly known by the court.
Yang Yuanqing was destined not to be in the eyes of Emperor Wen De.
